Once you get the first deal under your belt continue going and don't get lazy after the first deal some people will after they get that fat check of $2,000 or $15,000 check.

I do enjoy reading all the posts that are on BP and will continue to learn from all you seasoned investors!

Ok.....Year one of flips is coming to an end (kinda of...) and it started great and it continues to move in the right direction.....Now comes the really fun part of the business.....Rentals....Just like when we started, we knew nothing about flips and now know enough to be dangerous....Would love to have some input on things we should know, ask, etc as we move into our first rental property....Working on making an offer on our first as we speak and here is what I know so far...Property asking price: 129kType: DuplexAlready have tenants and recently signed new lease agreementWhat are some of the items we should look into or better yet, not miss as we go thru this transition.

I also play with projected expenses to see what the returns look like if expenses come in higher than expected.  

I'd like to continue speaking with you outside of this discussions and listen to some of your ideas.

I don't like the uncertainty, so I am going to continue to contribute until I retire. 

As you grow in one area you will continue to grow in others.

Congrats @Ryan Canfield. to continued success...

If you can't accept that tenants don't always play by the rules then the rental business is not the space for you.

You can either continue with that structure indefinitely with a strong management agreement in place if you want.
